Quantum computers will (obviously) be great at efficiently simulating quantum mechanics (which is practically impossible today). Which will lead to amazing new chemistry, which leads to drugs/cures/new materials.

FPGA/chip place and route would like a word with you.

Also, all sorts of physics solvers for optimum configuration used in aeronautics, heat flow analysis, etc.
